metalbear/mirrord-quickstart

Guide users from zero to their first working mirrord session — check system requirements, install mirrord via CLI, VS Code, or IntelliJ, run a first session against a Kubernetes target, and verify the connection. Use when a user is new to mirrord, wants to install it, needs help running their first session, or wants to debug or test a local process against their Kubernetes cluster.

Quality

Content

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured quickstart body: executable commands with concrete pod-name examples, a clearly sequenced workflow with explicit verification checkpoints and error-recovery guidance, and appropriately inline-only content for a skill of this size. The sole weakness is mild redundancy in the install section, where the 'Summary for the agent' bullets restate the official-docs pointer.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly lean (e.g. 'Verify installation: mirrord --version', the tight troubleshooting table), but the install section is redundant: the 'Official guide' pointer is followed by a 'Summary for the agent' whose bullets just restate 'Point the user to the official docs' for each OS. Not 5 because that duplication could be trimmed; not 3 because the rest assumes Claude's competence.

4 / 5

Actionability

Copy-paste-ready commands throughout ('mirrord exec --target pod/api-server-7c8d9 -- node app.js', 'mirrord exec --target pod/<pod-name> -- env | grep -i database'), with Node and Python examples covering the common cases. The only deferred commands (install) are explicitly justified by the no-piped-install-scripts policy, so this is not a 4.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Clear sequence (detect environment → verify kubectl → install → verify version → first session → verification) with explicit validation steps and error-recovery feedback ('If mirrord ls returns no targets, check that the kubeconfig context points at the right cluster') plus a troubleshooting table. Not 4 because checkpoints are explicit at every phase; no destructive/batch operations apply a cap.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist; the single-purpose quickstart content is all appropriately placed inline, and external pointers are clearly signaled one level deep ('See [Local UI]', 'point to the mirrord-up skill'). Not 4 because nothing that belongs in a separate file is inlined and navigation via section headers is easy.

Description

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description: it states the full zero-to-first-session workflow concretely, uses third-person voice, and carries an explicit, multi-trigger 'Use when' clause. The only gap is a few missing synonyms users might naturally say, such as 'mirror traffic' or 'remote development'.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions with comprehensive coverage: 'check system requirements, install mirrord via CLI, VS Code, or IntelliJ, run a first session against a Kubernetes target, and verify the connection'. Matches the top anchor rather than 4 because coverage spans the full workflow, not just most of it.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (the numbered action list) and when ('Use when a user is new to mirrord, wants to install it, needs help running their first session, or wants to debug or test a local process against their Kubernetes cluster'). Not 4 because the 'when' clause is fully explicit with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Good natural keyword coverage ('new to mirrord', 'wants to install it', 'first session', 'debug or test a local process against their Kubernetes cluster'), but a few natural terms are missing, e.g. 'mirror traffic' or 'remote development'. Not 3 because the phrases present are ones users would actually say.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Anchored on the distinctive product name 'mirrord' with a clear niche (first-session onboarding); minimal conflict risk. Not 4 because the generic-Kubernetes-debugging adjacency is only a minor overlap with closely related skills.
